AbstractApplication of molecular modeling methodology in industrial reseach opens
up opportunities to study the characteristics of (polymeric) materials. Topics in
polymer research of interest to BASF, which can be addressed by modeling
methods, are catalysis, nano-structure, and mesoscopic properties. The
lecture will focus also on an integrated working environment for "high
throughput computing" that facilitates the required simulations. The lecture
will describe further a sample study that applied quantum-chemistry to a
problem in polymer catalysis.
